2. Verify TV Weight & VESA: Confirm your TV's weight and VESA pattern are within the limits of the specific PERLESMITH mount you intend to use (refer to Section 3).
3. Gather Tools: You will need a stud finder, drill, level, measuring tape, pencil, and a Phillips head screwdriver.

4.2 Mounting the Wall Plate

1. Locate Studs: Use a stud finder to locate the center of the wood studs in your desired mounting location. Mark the stud edges.
2. Mark Drill Holes: Position the wall plate on the wall, use a level to ensure it is straight, and mark the pilot hole locations.
3. Drill Pilot Holes: Drill pilot holes to the specified depth and diameter (refer to your model's specific instructions).
4. Attach Wall Plate: Secure the wall plate to the wall using the provided lag bolts and washers. Tighten firmly but do not overtighten.

4.3 Attaching TV Brackets to TV

1. Select Screws: Choose the correct diameter and length of screws that fit your TV's VESA mounting holes. Spacers may be needed for irregular TV backs.

Solution: Immediately remove the TV from the mount. Re-check all lag bolts securing the wall plate to the wall. Ensure they are properly seated in the wood studs or concrete anchors. If the issue persists, consult a professional installer.

Solution: Verify your TV's VESA pattern and weight against the specifications of your PERLESMITH mount (PSMFK1+ or PSLF7). Ensure you have selected the correct mount for your TV size and weight. Contact customer support if you believe there is a compatibility issue.
